Hi, i've notices when adding more that 4 interfaces to eve every cloud1-x stops working or forwarding traffic. Individual my port groups works as clouds 1-3, however non are working when adding a 5th interface. Only cloud 0, which has a fixed ip continuos to work. Every port grp has the needed security setting

interfaces order gets shuffled sometimes. You should check esxi VM interfaces mac addresses against mac address interfaces in Eve

in case this is the issue, it needs to be fixed. shuffling with 10 Clouds, can't be left to random allocation

the issue is not related to Eve but rather to esxi/ubuntu.
If you have Eve Pro you can use this script to re-order interfaces
